BOTB: BEACH BOYS V. DAVID LEE ROTH

Good morning! I hope my computer works long enough to write this post.

Perhaps you'd like to see what the Beach Boys looked like in 1965, before they turned into drug-addled geezers:

Now how about David Lee Roth when he WAS Van Halen?

Don't you think that first move broke his b-a-l-l-s?

I figured I should spell it out in case children, such as Shady and Cherdo, are in the room.

Let's get to the winner of our contest now. Remember, it's Beach Boys v. David Lee Roth on California Girls. I hope my count is correct. I have computer problems, and the numbers say, Let's go ahead and jump to make it hard for the Junebug to read us.

'Good Vibrations' is your favorite BB song, eh? Yeah, that's a tough one to beat. (It was my high school's unofficial anthem.) I would likely put it at #2. There's just a beautiful yearning in 'The Warmth Of The Sun' that I love so much.

There are just countless BB songs I love, as they've always been one of my very, very favorite groups.

In my opinion, this Battle was far closer than it had any right to be. The Hack vs. The Beach Boys? That's like putting my singing ability up against Johnny Mathis. Pshaw! I oughta be on the warpath!

Ah! Good Vibrations was the ONLY Beach Boy's song I liked, to be honest. They were too California bubble-gum for me. But Good Vibrations--ahhh! Very different from the rest of their songs. I remember when it came out I couldn't believe it was theirs--LOL!

I figured they would win. Van Halen was after my time. Not really familiar with them.

You know, I actually thought Beach Boys were going to win, even though I voted for David Lee Roth. I love the cheesy 80's and have always been a DLR fan, but thought he was going to lose by more than he did. So I'm happy with the results.
